Well I took the GMT to Apache and GPS'd it. I got 68.4mph @ 6400 RPM. 6700rpm is what I was told to keep the motor under. I have a 22 chopper on there right now and if I don't lift at 6400pm It would have gernaded. I think I would like to get a bigger wheel but I am not sure what type and pitch is going to fit the bill. The boat and motor are supposed to weigh around 1200lbs. Its on plane in about 3 sec, I didn't time it to top speed. It feels like it gets there quick to me...prob not up to GFR's standards  :rotflmao Anybody got exp or advice on it? Props are expensive to rotate through.
:confused

Well I'm not familiar with your boat so I'm not even going to suggest which way to go, but it's still a prop and size power and gearing is always a factor. The ones to talk to would be Ron and Chad Hill, they been around forever and know their shit and they can set you straight!.. :good

Thanks Art.
I sent them an email. I'll see what they say. I figure I need a 24 or so with things the way the are but, I don't know what type. That should get me up into the mid to high 70's and still have some kind of hole shot.  :guns  :jumpie  :jumpie  :D

I never heard anything back from the Hill brothers but, I think my email was screwed up at the time. I'll try agn. In the mean time I got some advice from some fast wackers and they say I should be able to wind the merc up some more and definitely a bigger prop. I am going to keep on working on this stuff b4 I decide to play with the big blocks.  :rotflmao  :D
